ParasitologyParasite transmission can be disrupted when their free-living larval stages are consumed by non-host organisms. Yet, the contribution of benthic scrapers to this process remains insufficiently explored. Here, we experimentally assessed the ability of the

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise What maintains mixed mating is an evolutionary enigma. Cleistogamy—the production of both potentially outcrossing chasmogamous and obligately selfing cleistogamous flowers on the same individual plant—is an excellent system to study the costs of selfing.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 In response to uncertain risks, prey may rely on neophobic phenotypes to reduce the costs associated with the lack of information regarding local conditions. We conducted an in situ field experiment of two high‐risk guppy populations designed to determine how the ‘average’ and ‘variance’ of several environmental factors might influence the neophobic ...
